>By Umberto Eco - he also wrote The Name of the Rose.

ah! i should have guessed you'd know it ^_^

>Both fantastic books.

yeah. i loved them both, although i spoiled TNOTR for myself
by reading it when i was too young. both remain two of my
favourite books though.

>I have a 3rd book by him that I never got around to reading...
>Travels in Hyperreality I think - nonfiction, essays.

How To Travel With A Salmon was neat too ..

>Actually that's just "Knights Templar".

hmm? you're probably right there - i could be confusing it
with the KCMG. or maybe just with lain's Knights of the Eastern
Calculus, which was the link in lain that reminded me of FP in
the first place.

>BTW, have you ever read anything by Robert Anton Wilson? Most famous
>for his fiction - he coauthored The Illuminatus! Trilogy, wrote The
>Schroedinger's Cat Trilogy, etc, but he has a number of non-fiction
>books too. He's one of my favorites.

nope. although now, i just may. thanks.
